New Gardenershttps://geekgardener.in/forum/new-gardeners/panchagavya/#p6316Hi

Can you suggest dosage of Panchagavya for vegetable plants growing in balcony?

Leaves can become yellow due to several reasons. lack of sunlight and lack of nutrients are primary reasons.

Add a handful kitchen waste compost every couple of weeks. the compost should be well decomposed.

How many hours of light do you get? Post a pic if possible

Thanks for reply. I get 3-4 hours sunlight. I have a picture but I dont know how to post it here.

New Gardenershttps://geekgardener.in/forum/new-gardeners/growing-vegetables-in-balcony/#p6313Hi
I have space constraints as I live in an apartment with only a balcony available for my garden. Still want to grow my own vegetables.

I am a beginner and just started. I am trying to grow cow peas and it started growing but 3 days back i noticed color of the leaves fading and leaves started falling. Anybody can suggest a remedy for it.

Also I make compost at home and want to know how much compost I can use for the garden.

I hope that I am not breaking any rules, but I could really use your help.
I am a student with the open university and have a research project on encoraging people to start urban vegetable growing. I would like to post a very small anonymous survey that will be used for my project only and need about 6 people to assist me.

If you could spend a couple of mins to fill it in I would be enormously grateful

Urban Vegetable Growers Survey

What veg do you grow?

Would you like to grow any other veg? and if so, what would you like to grow?

What prevents you from doing so?

Do you grow in an allotment, garden or window box?

Do you use any electronic devices or apps to assist you with growing your crops?

Do you feel that growing your own gives you: pleasure, satisfaction or health benefits?
Would you find it easier to grow in raised beds or containers?

What do you know now that you wish you had known when you were starting out?

What essential items would someone starting out need to purchase?

Have you ever used, or would you consider using a hydroponic system?

What do you think would encourage others to take up growing their own veg?

I have begun my baby steps into gardening and I really love the information that I have received in this forum. Thank you for the help.

I am a small terrace garden with capsicum, sweet pumpkin, dill radish growing along with a few flowering plants like bougainvillea, hibiscus and rose.

I currently am facing a few issues. I request all the the experienced people to help me out.

1. I have planted seeds of tomato, karela and papaya in 15'' pots with equal measure of cocopeat, mud and cow manure. The seeds have not germinated and it has been 10 days now.
2. My hibiscus plant has some white coloured fungus kind of the thing at the tip of the stems just before the flower bud base. I am not sure what it is but I know it is some kind of disease that is affecting the plant. How do I get rid of this problem.
3. Some of the bougainvillea are growing well but they are not flowering. They are only growing leaves.
4. I have a big grow bag with full of capsicum saplings grown to about 8 inches in height. I have about 10 saplings in one grow bag. I am scared to transfer them into individual grow bags. Kindly suggest how to go about this.

Thank you for all the help

New Gardenershttps://geekgardener.in/forum/new-gardeners/can-soluble-npk-be-used-for-hydroponics/#p6263Hi Hari,

Sorry. I haven't noticed this post. The short answer is yes you can but you will not get great results. Tricel mainly used for foliar spray and not suitable. Instead you can try http://www.pragro.com/PRAGRO_f.....ineCXK.htm. As this is a mix of micronutrients in chelated form it should work.

BTW, where are you from?

Thanks,
Srikanth
